This striking Batik wall-hanging was designed and made for the French magazine "Magic Patch" to introduce a new non-curve ruler, the "Multi-Angle, Wedge Ruler & Sampler Pattern", to the European comunity. While original Blocks can be easily made, traditional Blocks are also part of the variety of designs that are possible. Until the invention of this remarkable tool, sewing different Angles (Wedges) together wasn't easy, however, this new Ruler includes a special 'Slot' for each of the Angles on the Ruler (5 to 60 degrees) so that the 'point' for each of the Angles can be cut off at the exact 1/4" seam allowance. creating a Wedge that makes it possible to sew a wide variety of Angles together. For example, this quilt is made with the following Angles: 25, 5, and 30 degrees.
